GTDP Community Sub-Group

The Greater Thetford Development Partnership
(GTDP) has been set up by Breckland District Council as an
advisory body to oversee the Thetford Sustainable Extension (SUE),
also known
as Kingsfleet. This
development, to the north and east of the town, has outline planning
permission for around 5,000 new houses, with the developers
providing associated community facilities. Despite the GTDP having
no formal powers, it is likely to have a lot of influence over the
direction of the upcoming developments in Thetford. No local
community groups are directly represented on the Board, and instead
their input comes via a Community Sub-Group, whose chairman sits on
the main Board.

The Community Sub-Group comprises one
representative from each of the three local parish and town councils
(Thetford, Croxton, and Brettenham & Kilverstone), a
representative from the Thetford Business Forum, and four co-opted
community representatives. These representatives were selected from
an open application process in February 2016.

For further details of the Sub-Group's members and meetings, please
see below. If you have any questions, or wish to suggest topics for
future discussion by the Sub-Group, please email the Chair, Robert
Whittaker,
on rjw-gtdp@(nospam)mathmos.net.

Meetings, agendas, papers and minutes

The Community Sub-Group meetings are all open to the public. Time
will be allocated for public questions at the start of each meeting,
and members of the public can also contribute during the meeting at
the invitation of the Chair.

Due to the England football match and the non-availability of
several Sub-Group members for other reasons, the formal July meeting
has been cancelled. Some representatives will be present at 7pm if
any members of the public want to raise an issues or have an
informal chat about anything that would have been on the
agenda.
